Sony to stream live E3 webcast, promises future of gameplay at E3

Sony has invited the press to a conference before the E3 gaming show on its dedicated website. At the show, it plans to reveal 20 new game titles and what it calls the "future of gameplay and innovation." Exactly what that involves remains to be seen, but it could have something to do with its next-generation home console, the Orbis. That console will not be unveiled at the show, however, the company said earlier.

The company also promised there will be more than 200 gaming stations at the show for demonstrations, with most likely having the PS Vita handheld. Information on upcoming PlayStation products and services.

The press conference is scheduled for 6:00PM on June 4, with a countdown to the live webcast on another site. [viaGamingBlend]
